Email Plugin

Hi everyone,

Thanks to a couple of guys on discord I was able to identify two major issues with the plugin that I have managed to solve. I have just pushed an update that will hopefully go live as soon as possible.

ISSUE 1
I had made built-in blueprint tutorials that would reflect exactly what the PDF documentation goes over. Unfortunately, the blueprint tutorials have a very annoying bug when packaged as plugin content. When you run a blueprint tutorial that is inside a plugin content folder the engine will automatically add a line inside an ini file that will make packaging any other project (with the same engine version) impossible, unless you delete that line from the file or you enable the plugin inside the project you are trying to package. This is to say the list undesirable.

If you are facing this issue go to C:/Users/YOURUSERNAME/AppData/Local/UnrealEngine/ENGINEVERSION/Saved/Config/Windows/EditorSettings.ini. Inside the file locate the section [/Script/IntroTutorials.TutorialStateSettings] and under that section get rid of any line that mentions the EmailPlugin tutorials.

SOLUTION 1
To solve issue 1 I have deleted the tutorials and replaced them with a button in the toolbar that will bring up a window. Inside the window, you’ll find a number of buttons that link directly to the PDF document and the video tutorials.

ISSUE 2
The second issue regards the EmailDetailsAsset and the password field. More than one user has reported that when typing in the password field they would face validation issues probably meaning that the password wasn’t typed properly.

SOLUTION 2
I have looked into this and found out that the password field would not allow pasting in the password (I had manually programmed the field) and would generally add extra characters in some cases. I have now replaced the password textbox (hand-made :rolleyes:) with an unreal engine built-in password field (didn’t even know there was one) and after some testing, I can comfortably say that it works 100% of the times.

As usual, if anybody has any questions or is facing any issue with the plugin just write here or on the discord channel.

Have a great day :cool:
